I have a well-paying, quite nontraditional job. It is a blend of nontraditional clinical stuff and program oversight/administration. That said, its quite dysfunctional here and for a variety of reasons, I dont see myself here long-term. That is, the hours and pay are good enough to keep here for a couple more years, but certainly not the place I will be retiring from.
In my search for similar positions, albeit with more traditional populations/setting, I am AGAST at the lack of job demands specifically for, or requiring, doctoral-level psychologists in my area. I am talking about both clinical service positions, as well as clinical director/administrative positions. With the excpetion of the typical state prison jobs and VA jobs (which has maybe one or two openings per year here), their is really NO demand for clinical/counseling psychologists in this area. Tons of masters level stuff, with masters level pay of course.
So, I guess the question is, is this just my area, or are we really not that in-demand anymore? Where do we fit out in the community anymore?
